McWilliam’s ability to suggest character and movement with the most economic of means is fully demonstrated in this series, as is his persistent exploitation of the visual joke and the visual pun.
In 1981 the Arts Councils in Ireland organised an exhibition of his work which toured throughout Ireland and in 1989 the Tate Gallery, London held a major retrospective of his work.
McWilliam’s varied body of work is characterised by a love of the visual and verbal joke although his ‘Women of Belfast’; series depicting women caught in a bomb blast demonstrates his engagement with life in Belfast during the 70s.
